Imprisonment
Once, Chai Jin's uncle is bullied by Gao Lian's relative, Yin Tianxi, in Gaotangzhou (present-day Gaotang County). Chai Jin's uncle dies from his wounds caused by Yin Tianxi. Chai Jin confronts Yin Tianxi with Li Kui. Yin Tianxi behaves arrogantly and rudely towards Chai Jin and Li Kui kills Yin in anger. Gao Lian is furious and he has Chai Jin arrested and thrown into prison, showing complete disregard for Chai's danshu tiequan. Meanwhile, Li Kui escapes and he returns to Liangshan to seek help.
The Liangshan outlaws attack Gaotangzhou to rescue Chai Jin. Gao Lian uses dark magic and succeeds in holding off the outlaws until Gongsun Sheng arrives and defeats him in a battle of magic. Gaotangzhou is conquered by the outlaws and they enter the prison to search for Chai Jin. They are unable to find Chai Jin in the cells and eventually they learn from a warder that Gao Lian has hidden him at the bottom of a dry well. Chai Jin has been severely tortured by Gao Lian and is deprived of food and water and appears to be on the verge of dying. He is saved in time and provided with medical treatment and survives.
